Finite-dimensional pseudo-bosons: a non-Hermitian version of the truncated harmonic oscillator

2018

We propose a deformed version of the commutation rule introduced in 1967 by Buchdahl to describe a particular model of the truncated harmonic oscillator. The rule we consider is defined on a $N$-dimensional Hilbert space $\Hil_N$, and produces two biorhogonal bases of $\Hil_N$ which are eigenstates of the Hamiltonians $h=\frac{1}{2}(q^2+p^2)$, and of its adjoint $h^\dagger$. Here $q$ and $p$ are non-Hermitian operators obeying $[q,p]=i(\1-Nk)$, where $k$ is a suitable orthogonal projection operator. These eigenstates are connected by ladder operators constructed out of $q$, $p$, $q^\dagger$ and $p^\dagger$. Some examples are discussed.

Two-dimensional Noncommutative Swanson Model and Its Bicoherent States

2019

We introduce an extended version of the Swanson model, defined on a two-dimensional noncommutative space, which can be diagonalized exactly by making use of pseudo-bosonic operators. Its eigenvalues are explicitly computed and the biorthogonal sets of eigenstates of the Hamiltonian and of its adjoint are explicitly constructed.We also show that it is possible to construct two displacement-like operators from which a family of bi-coherent states can be obtained. These states are shown to be eigenstates of the deformed lowering operators, and their projector allows to produce a suitable resolution of the identity in a dense subspace of \(\mathcal{L}^\mathrm{2}\, (\mathbb{R}^\mathrm{2})\).

It has been shown in previous papers that classes of (minimal asymmetric) informationally-complete positive operator valued measures (IC-POVMs) in dimension d can be built using the multiparticle Pauli group acting on appropriate fiducial states. The latter states may also be derived starting from the Poincare upper half-plane model H . To do this, one translates the congruence (or non-congruence) subgroups of index d of the modular group into groups of permutation gates, some of the eigenstates of which are the sought fiducials. The structure of some IC-POVMs is found to be intimately related to the Kochen-Specker theorem.

Invariant Markov semigroups on quantum homogeneous spaces

2019

Invariance properties of linear functionals and linear maps on algebras of functions on quantum homogeneous spaces are studied, in particular for the special case of expected coideal *-subalgebras. Several one-to-one correspondences between such invariant functionals are established. Adding a positivity condition, this yields one-to-one correspondences of invariant quantum Markov semigroups acting on expected coideal *-subalgebras and certain convolution semigroups of states on the underlying compact quantum group. This gives an approach to classifying invariant quantum Markov semigroups on these quantum homogeneous spaces. The generators of these semigroups are viewed as Laplace operators …

Existence and gap-bifurcation of multiple solutions to certain nonlinear eigenvalue problems

1993

IN THIS PAPER we study: (i) a class of operator equations in an abstract Hilbert space; and (ii) the L2-theory of certain nonlinear Schrodinger equations which can be viewed as special cases of (i). In order to describe the type of abstract nonlinear eigenvalue problems to be discussed, consider a real Hilbert space H with scalar product (* , *) and norm II.11 and let S be a (not necessarily bounded) positive self-adjoint linear operator in li. We write S in the form

Principal eigenvalue of a very badly degenerate operator and applications

2007

Abstract In this paper, we define and investigate the properties of the principal eigenvalue of the singular infinity Laplace operator Δ ∞ u = ( D 2 u D u | D u | ) ⋅ D u | D u | . This operator arises from the optimal Lipschitz extension problem and it plays the same fundamental role in the calculus of variations of L ∞ functionals as the usual Laplacian does in the calculus of variations of L 2 functionals. Our approach to the eigenvalue problem is based on the maximum principle and follows the outline of the celebrated work of Berestycki, Nirenberg and Varadhan [H. Berestycki, L. Nirenberg, S.R.S. Varadhan, The principal eigenvalue and maximum principle for second-order elliptic operator…

Multiplicity theorems for the Dirichlet problem involving the p-Laplacian

2003

Multiplicity theorems for the Dirichlet problem involving the p-Laplacian were proved using variational approach. It was shown that there existed an open interval and a positive real number, and each problem admits at least three weak solutions. Results on the existence of at least three weak solutions for the Dirichlet problems were established.

Hamiltonians Generated by Parseval Frames

2021

AbstractIt is known that self-adjoint Hamiltonians with purely discrete eigenvalues can be written as (infinite) linear combination of mutually orthogonal projectors with eigenvalues as coefficients of the expansion. The projectors are defined by the eigenvectors of the Hamiltonians. In some recent papers, this expansion has been extended to the case in which these eigenvectors form a Riesz basis or, more recently, a ${\mathcal{D}}$ D -quasi basis (Bagarello and Bellomonte in J. Phys. A 50:145203, 2017, Bagarello et al. in J. Math. Phys. 59:033506, 2018), rather than an orthonormal basis. Here we discuss what can be done when these sets are replaced by Parseval frames. This interest is moti…

Sharp Poincaré inequalities in a class of non-convex sets

2018

Let $gamma$ be a smooth, non-closed, simple curve whose image is symmetric with respect to the $y$-axis, and let $D$ be a planar domain consisting of the points on one side of $gamma$, within a suitable distance $delta$ of $gamma$. Denote by $mu_1^{odd}(D)$ the smallest nontrivial Neumann eigenvalue having a corresponding eigenfunction that is odd with respect to the $y$-axis. If $gamma$ satisfies some simple geometric conditions, then $mu_1^{odd}(D)$ can be sharply estimated from below in terms of the length of $gamma$ , its curvature, and $delta$. Moreover, we give explicit conditions on $delta$ that ensure $mu_1^{odd}(D)=mu_1(D)$. Finally, we can extend our bound on $mu_1^{odd}(D)$ to a …
